Yeah, but he knows how to game the system. Just whisper the word "pedo", and the frenzy will net a fat payout.

This seems to prove the opposite. TSG ratted him out and now he's pretty screwed. Every future Google search will connect him to this. And I can't imagine he made any money since there was no settlement. If anything, he owes his lawyers money and is subject to a libel suit.

You're right from the standpoint that Clash has been unfairly smeared, but hopefully he can clean his name.

Those tattoos are AMAZING. I mean, WOW! You can sense the subtle meaning in the form of the artists strokes and the exquisite shading. Attention to detail is on spot and the flow of the lines is outstanding. They really tell a story and he looks MUCH more interesting because of them.

Is that him? Although not my type, I can see why Elmo definitely wanted some of that.

Yeah, that dude is Greek god beautiful. I can't stop looking at him, and I'm straight.

When I saw the picture and read the article the first thing I did was forward it to my buddy. He has a thing for racially ambiguous, vaguely dangerous young men; a thing that used to get him in trouble from time to time back when he was single.

He'll probably be sitting outside the guy's apartment with a bouquet and a pair of handcuffs.

Clash got lucky. What was it, his unauthorized e-mails from CTW computers that cleared him? If Clash had obeyed company policy, he would have been farked.

Did TMZ have any evidence other than this guy's word?I'm loathed to use "lack of solid evidence" as an example to protect statutory rapists, but you have to have more than just the verbal testimony of a single unreliable witness.

Cyclometh:So, do we go back to the original thread and ask everyone who called Clash a pervert, pedophile and deviant to recant and apologize?

I know the difference between a pedophile and an ephebophile, so that part doesn't apply, but I did call him a pervert and a deviant. You get no apology. He was nailing a kid who could have been in the same high school as his daughter. In addition to "pervert" and "deviant", I'll add "creep", "sleeze", and "skeevey". "Technically legal" does not equal "good idea".

This is an object lesson in why we are assumed innocent until proven guilty in court. It's something that should extend outside that also, but the media needs their blood.

B-b-b-b-b-b-ut... TEH CHILDRUN! WE NEED TO THINK OF TEH CHILDRUN!

/The people who spend so much time thinking about the children scare me. I don't think actual pedophiles think about the children as much as the people who always scream about how we need to think of the children.
